Section Three: Statements Required by Law and Executive Order and Certifications
(Signed by the Applicant and Associates)
PLEASE READ, DETACH, AND RETAIN FOR YOUR RECORDS
STATEMENTS REQUIRED BY LAW AND EXECUTIVE ORDER
This application, and any assistance provided pursuant to this application, is subject to the following
laws, regulations, and Executive Orders:
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) - This law provides, with some exceptions, that SBA must
supply information reflected in agency files and records to a person requesting it. Information about
approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics on our loan
programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the
names of the borrowers (and their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to
secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms and the maturity. Proprietary data on
a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be
addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and Debt Collection Improvement Act (31 U.S.C. 7701)
Authorities and Purpose for Collecting Information: SBA is collecting the information on this form,
including social security numbers and other personal information, to make a character and credit
eligibility decision in connection with you or your company’s application for SBA assistance. SBA may
also use social security numbers for the purpose of collecting and reporting on any delinquent fees or
other amounts owed SBA.
Under the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 7701, the applicant business and any guarantor of the loan are
required to provide their social security numbers, or other taxpayer identification numbers, in order to do
business with SBA. Failure to provide this information would affect your ability to obtain a 504 loan.
For other individuals signing this application, the submission of the social security number is voluntary
and failure to provide your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which
you are entitled. However, in evaluating whether the applicant satisfies the criteria for a 504 loan under
section 501 et seq. of the Small Business Investment Act, 15 USC 695 et seq., SBA considers whether
the applicant and each of its Associates possess good character. In making this determination, SBA
considers the person’s integrity, candor, and criminal history if any. SBA is authorized, through section
308(f) of the Small Business Investment Act, to verify your criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to
section 7(a)(1)(B) of the Small Business Act, 15 USC § 636(a)(1)(B). In addition, for all forms of
assistance, SBA is authorized to make all investigations necessary to ensure that a person has not
engaged in acts that violate or will violate the Small Business Investment Act, see 15 USC Section
687b(a). In conducting the criminal background check, SBA also uses your social security number to
distinguish you from other individuals with the same or similar name or other personal identifier. This
use is permitted under Executive Order 9397.
Routine Uses: Some of the information collected may be checked against criminal history indices of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. When the information collected indicates a violation or potential
violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature, SBA may refer it to the appropriate
agency, whether Federal, State, local, or foreign, charged with responsibility for or otherwise involved in
investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. See SBA’s Privacy Act System
of Records, at 74 Fed. Reg. 14890 (2009) (as amended from time to time) for other published routine
uses for the collected information.

Section Three: Statements Required by Law and Executive Order and Certifications
(Signed by the Applicant and Associates)
Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) – As required by the Right of Financial Privacy Act
of 1978, SBA provides this notice of SBA's right to access financial records held by financial institutions that
are or have been doing business with you or your business, including any financial institutions participating in a
loan or loan guarantee. The law provides that SBA shall have a right of access to your financial records in
connection with its consideration or administration of assistance to you in the form of a Government loan or
loan guaranty agreement. SBA is required to provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial
institution in connection with its first request for access to your financial records, after which no further
certification is required for subsequent accesses. The law also provides that SBA's access rights continue for the
term of any approved loan or loan guaranty agreement. No further notice to you of SBA's access rights is
required during the term of any such agreement.
The law also authorizes SBA to transfer to another Government authority any financial records included in an
application for a loan, or concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or
foreclose on a loan or loan guarantee or to collect on a defaulted loan or loan guarantee. No other transfer of
your financial records to another Government authority will be permitted by SBA except as required or
permitted by law.
Debt Collection Act of 1982 and Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 5514 note and 31
U.S.C. 3701 et seq.) – These laws require SBA to aggressively collect any loan or other payments which
become delinquent. SBA must obtain your taxpayer identification number when you apply for a loan. If you
receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may take one or more of the following
actions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Report the status of your loan(s) or other debt owed to SBA to credit bureaus
Hire a collection agency to collect your loan or other delinquent debt
Offset your income tax refund or other amounts due to you from the Federal Government
Suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government
Refer your loan or other delinquent debt to the Department of Justice or other attorneys for litigation
Foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments
If you default on an SBA loan and fail to fully reimburse SBA for any resulting loss, refer you to the
computer database of delinquent Federal debtors maintained by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, or other Federal agency, which may disqualify you from receiving financial assistance from
other Federal agencies. In addition, unless SBA is reimbursed in full for the loss, you will not eligible for
additional SBA financial assistance.

Flood Disaster Protection Act (42 U.S.C. 4011) – Under this Act, and its implementing regulations, SBA is
prohibited from providing financial assistance in an FIA designated floodplain unless Federal flood insurance is
purchased as a condition of the loan. Failure to maintain the required level of flood insurance makes the
Applicant ineligible for any future financial assistance from SBA under any program, including disaster
assistance.
Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 -- Floodplain Management and Wetland Protection (42 F.R. 26951
and 42 F.R. 26961) -- SBA discourages settlement in or development of a floodplain or a wetland. This
statement is to notify all applicants for SBA assistance that such actions are hazardous to both life and property
and should be avoided. The additional cost of flood preventive construction must be considered in addition to
the possible loss of all assets and investments due to a future flood.

Section Three: Statements Required by Law and Executive Order and Certifications
(Signed by the Applicant and Associates)
Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) can require businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees.
Businesses that do not comply may be fined and required to abate the hazards in their workplaces. They may
also be ordered to cease operations posing an imminent danger of death or serious injury until employees can be
protected. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with
the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
Civil Rights Legislation – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in
any business practice, including employment practices and services to the public, on the basis of categories
cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of SBA Regulations. This includes making their goods and services
available to handicapped clients or customers. All business borrowers will be required to display the "Equal
Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits
creditors from discriminating against credit Applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex,
marital status or age (provided that the Applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all
or part of the Applicant's income derives from any public assistance program, or because the Applicant has in
good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers
compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity,
Washington, D.C. 20580.
Executive Order 11738 -- Environmental Protection (38 C.F.R. 25161) – The Executive Order charges the
SBA with administering its loan programs in a manner that will result in effective enforcement of the Clean Air
Act, the Federal Water Pollution Act and other environmental protection legislation. SBA must, therefore,
impose conditions on some loans. By acknowledging receipt of this form and presenting the application, the
Associates of all small businesses borrowing $100,000 or more in direct funds stipulate to the following:
•
•

•

That any facility used, or to be used, by the subject firm is not cited on the EPA list of Violating Facilities.
That subject firm will comply with all the requirements of Section 114 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7414) and Section 308 of the Water Act (33 U.S.C 1318) relating to inspection, monitoring, entry, reports
and information, as well as all other requirements specified in Section 114 and Section 308 of the respective
Acts, and all regulations and guidelines issued thereunder.
That subject firm will notify SBA of the receipt of any communication from the Director of the
Environmental Protection Agency indicating that a facility utilized, or to be utilized, by subject firm is under
consideration to be listed on the EPA List of Violating Facilities.

Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821 et seq.) – Borrowers using SBA funds for the
construction or rehabilitation of a residential structure are prohibited from using lead-based paint (as defined in
Federal regulations) on all interior surfaces, whether accessible or not, and exterior surfaces, such as stairs,
decks, porches, railings, windows and doors, which are readily accessible to children under 7 years of age. A
"residential structure" is any home, apartment, hotel, motel, orphanage, boarding school, dormitory, day care
center, extended care facility, college or other school housing, hospital, group practice or community facility
and all other residential or institutional structures where persons reside.

I agree to report to the SBA Office of Inspector General, 409 Third Street S.W., Washington, D.C. 20416,
any Federal Government employee who offers assistance in return for any type of compensation to help get
this application approved.
o I understand that I need not pay anybody to deal with SBA.
o I also understand that a Certified Development Company may charge the Applicant a percentage of
the loan proceeds as set forth in SBA regulations as a fee for preparing and processing the loan
applications.
o I agree to pay for or reimburse the CDC or the SBA for the cost of any surveys, title or mortgage
examinations, appraisals, etc., performed by non-SBA personnel provided that I have given my
consent.
I understand that regulations issued by the SBA prohibit the making of loans to relocate any operations of a
small business that will cause a net reduction of one-third or more in the workforce of the Applicant
company or a substantial increase in unemployment in any area of the country.
In the event that proceeds from this loan are used to relocate an EPC/OC (including any affiliate,
subsidiary or other business entity under direct, indirect or common control), the undersigned certifies that
such relocation will not significantly increase unemployment in the area of the original location.
If my business exceeds the small business size standard by more than 25%, I agree to use SBA’s financial

No overlapping relationship exists between the Applicant, including its Associates, and the CDC, including
its Associates, or any other lender providing financing for the project, that could create an appearance of a
conflict of interest as defined in 13 CFR 120.140 or violate 13 CFR 120.851. No such relationships existed
within six months of this application or will be permitted to exist while assistance is outstanding.
I authorize disclosure of all information submitted in connection with this application to the financial
institution agreeing to participate with SBA's guaranteed debenture.
I waive all claims against SBA and its consultants for any management and technical assistance that may be
provided.
In consideration for assistance from the Small Business Administration, I hereby agree that I will comply
with all Federal laws and regulations to the extent that they are applicable to such assistance, including
conditions set forth in this application.
I, my spouse, or any member of my household, or anyone who owns, manages, or directs the business or
their spouses or members of their households do not work for the SBA, Small Business Advisory Council,
SCORE or ACE, any Federal agency, or the participating lender. If someone does, the name and address of
such person and where employed is provided on an attached page.
